Help and support in Vista Ultimate

When I open Help and Support all the Icons are (Red X's) none appear at all.

The text is all there but no icons

Icons in Help are missing - This happens if the "Content Type" setting
for .PNG file types is broken. Download a REG file from Daniel Martin's
site here:

http://winvista.mvps.org/Ficheros/PNG.reg - Download and save it to
Desktop. Right-click on the file and choose Merge. The manual fix:

1. Close the Help and Support window.
2. Start the Registry Editor by clicking Start, typing "regedit" (no
quotation marks), and pressing ENTER. (You need administrator privileges to
do this.)
3. Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.png.
4. Right-click the .png folder, point to New, and then click String value.
5. Add a new string named "Content Type" (without quotation marks).
6. Double-click the new Content Type string and set the Value data to
"image/png" (without quotation marks).
7. Close the Registry Editor, and then open Help and Support.

Thank you very much, nice quick fix..Fast responce. I noticed that with
ultimate copy paste and transfeer from drive to drive is very very very slow.
But not so on vista home. Any time frame on Sp1 for vista to fix this
problem. Thank you
